Re: [PATCH] send-email: allow use of basic email list in --cc --to and --bcc

Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] writes:

Doesn't

	git send-email --to='Foo [off-list ref]' --to='bar@example.com'

work?  If it does, I do not see much point of this change.  If you
are starting from two pieces of information, why combine it into
one, only have the program to split it again, risking to be bitten
by bugs, and changing the code to do so, risking to add new bugs?

The obvious use-case is to copy-paste a list of addresses from an email.
Currently, the Cc: list of the email I'm sending looks like

Cc: Jorge-Juan.Garcia-Garcia@ensimag.imag.fr,  git@vger.kernel.org,  Mathieu Lienard--Mayor <redacted>

If I were to use "git send-email" on it, I'd have to cut the list
myself.

This could be mentionned in the commit message.
